THESIS, RESEARCH, PROJECTS
M.Tech Thesis Project
Study of Fractal Antennas for UWB Applications with subsequent reduction in
Mutual Coupling –
In order to improve the performance of conventional antennas many methods are
employed. Fractal geometry based antenna structure offers significant
contribution in this regard to achieve wider bandwidth and miniaturize the
antenna dimension. Two different approaches are generally followed while
designing fractal antennas. They are: a) self-similarity- which is generally
incorporated to achieve wider bandwidth and b) space filling – which is employed
to miniaturize the antenna dimensions. Moreover the mutual coupling that arises
when two antennas are kept at a distance of less than 0.5λ is studied and a
comparative study is carried out for increasing the isolation between the antennas
that would eventually mitigate the imminent interference between two co-
existing UWB systems.
M.Tech Research Projects
RF MEMS Varactors
This project emphasizes the role of varactors as a tuning element for selecting a
particular frequency. Changing the capacitance ushers in a change in frequency
and this effect is utilized in RF MEMS Varactors.

MEMS Helical Antenna
This work is concerned with the design of a novel MEMS helical antenna that is mainly
incorporated for Terahertz (THz) applications. The antenna comprises of a metal helix
and a CPW feed on the substrate. The antenna can be fabricated using only one wafer
and it has high packaging density. For THz applications the antenna parameters has
been optimized so that desired performance can be achieved. Moreover low
fabrication cost makes this antenna suitable for terahertz systems.
B.Tech Final Year Project
Laser based Audio Transmission System (Domain: Wireless Communications)
The idea behind this project is to transmit sound or music signals through a laser
beam. The intensity of the laser beam changes with the amplitude of the sound signal.
The variation in the intensity of the laser beam is converted into a variation of voltage
using a calculator’s solar panel. This voltage variation is amplified using an audio
amplifier and a faithful reproduction of the original sound signal is obtained from a
speaker connected to the receiver.
